Many people dream of making their wedding bright and different from everyone else’s. Autumn is attentive to details and even wants to decorate glasses in an unusual way. And today we have everything we need for this!
You can contact the craftsmen and simply tell them how you see the design of future glasses. But it’s much more pleasant to make glasses for yourself and your loved one yourself. Moreover, it is very simple! How to decorate wedding glasses?
Lace
Lace or thin fabrics are great for glass goblets. They help emphasize the elegance and shape of the glass and look beautiful in any interior.
Decorating glasses for a wedding in this case is extremely simple: you need to wrap the blank with lace and carefully secure the material.
You can complement it with bows or beads - your imagination comes into play here. The result is a modest, but tastefully decorated glass that is suitable for any wedding, both luxurious and among friends.
To decorate the stem of a glass, you can use a spiral ribbon and attach a flower to it. This composition is fixed with glue. Or, instead of a flower, you can make leaves by attaching beads to them.
Decoration in the form of lace is very convenient, because on its basis you can create a composition in the style of a celebration. For example, for a classic holiday, you can leave them as is and decorate them only with decorative thread.
If your wedding style is more bohemian, then lace will look good with bright flowers and other elements.
Selection of equipment:
- Lace ribbons. The easiest technique is to tie a bow of lace ribbons at the base of the wedding champagne glass. You can also wrap a lace mesh around a wine glass, previously coated with PVA glue. After the product has dried, remove any remaining glue with water.
- Flower buds. It takes too long to make a composition with buds, and the decor will quickly fade. The flowers should be kept in water for several hours and glued to the dishes immediately before the celebration.
- Petals of artificial flowers. Flowers are separated into petals or miniature buds are used. A sketch is applied to a degreased glass surface and pasted over with petals. An imitation of dew is applied pointwise around it with a transparent outline.
- Sections of satin ribbons. The ribbons are tied into bows and made into roses and leaves. The composition is fixed to the glass with a glue gun.
- Braid. Use gold or silver braid. A minimalist option is to wrap the material several times around the stem of the glass. Glue is used for fastening.
- Painting. Stained glass or acrylic paints are useful for creating patterns. They depict monograms, plant motifs, rings, and a dancing couple.
- Gold or silver glitter. Simply coat the glass surface with glue and sprinkle with glitter. Residues are removed with a soft brush.
- Beads, beads, rhinestones . Decorating glasses with beads looks beautiful. It is recommended to attach small parts with a glue gun or silicone glue. The nature of decoration depends on the skill of the master.
The main rule of work is the accuracy of fastening the parts, the absence of irregularities, frozen drops of glue or fingerprints. The glue must be of high quality and not leave marks on the product.
Lace and fabric
The combination of fabric and lace on wedding paraphernalia looks interesting. When decorating, adhere to the theme of the event so that the color and design do not stray from the general trend.
A celebration in Provence style involves wine glasses wrapped in aged lace with purple ribbons.
It is advisable to decorate hand-made wedding glasses in a rustic style with a piece of lace material in a muted tone, decorate the stem with thin twine, and glue dried wildflowers to the base.
Working method:
- cut a piece of beautiful fabric or lace;
- retreat a few centimeters from the edge of the wine glass;
- Use a glue gun to secure the material around the glass;
- decorate the leg with a ribbon, bow or lace skirt;
- attach beads, rhinestones, beads to the surface.
Be careful when working with lace material. Too much will lead to streaks on the glass and an unsightly appearance. When decorating wedding glasses with your own hands, it is rational to use a drop of glue, smoothing the surface with a dry cloth or napkin.
All irregularities need to be veiled with beads and ribbons of a contrasting shade.
For a laconic celebration, choose minimalist decor. It is enough to measure a white lace ribbon, securing it with glue around the circumference of the glass. Attach a bow made of purple or red satin ribbon to the leg.
You can twist small roses from ribbons and use a glue gun to decorate the bottom of the leg.
Artificial flowers
Decorating glasses with artificial flowers allows you to get a long-lasting composition. The bride has plenty of time to experiment to decorate the glassware to suit the wedding theme.
The work uses a glue gun and a composition of flowers or their components.
Interesting variations:
- A classic wedding theme will benefit from using a combination of small roses in a pastel palette, complemented by lace, rhinestones, and beads.
- A red wedding, fashionable this season, involves an abundance of scarlet. Designers advise taking apart an artificial peony flower to cover the newlyweds' glasses with petals with your own hands. Red feathers are attached between the rows, and the leg is wrapped with a satin ribbon.
- At an Oscar-themed wedding, the decoration amazes with brilliance and chic. For decoration, roses are treated with gold spray paint and, after drying, attached to a wine glass. Next, using acrylic paint, patterns, dots, and initials of the young people are applied.
The newlyweds' wine glasses do not have to be decorated identically. The bride's glass looks more elegant, while the groom is content with discreet decorations.
Feathers
Feathers are the choice of a bride with extraordinary taste. Lovers of experiments can decorate wedding glasses with their own hands not only with white, but even with multi-colored feathers. There should not be an excess of fluffy material so as not to weigh down the weightless structure:
It is advisable to first apply a floral pattern to the surface or glue miniature roses from ribbons to later add fluffy feathers, rhinestones and beads.
A sketch is first applied to the wine glass, with transparent beads attached along its contour. This could be an image of two hearts, rings or newlyweds. Feathers are attached to the base of the stem of the glass and decorated with rhinestones in the center.
A flower is made from multi-colored feathers, complemented with narrow ribbons to match. The elements are glued to the bottom of the leg.
An interesting combination of feathers with live, polymer or artificial flowers. The white orchid looks fresh on the front of the feather arrangement against the background of the ornate pattern of the glasses.
Feathers are not attached close to the top of the wine glasses. They should be located exclusively near the leg so as not to interfere with the consumption of drinks during the celebration.
Rustic style
Rustic wedding decoration involves the use of simple fabrics and unpretentious decor, bordering on rustic naivety.
The event implies the absence of expensive details and connection with nature.
Newlyweds can make their own decorative items from branches, pine cones, dried bouquets of flowers, twine, moss, bark, twine, and aged lace. Instead of glasses, you can use tall glasses wrapped in rope.
For decoration, choose a color palette that is close to the shade of the earth, grass, and trees. If the groom is making doves and hearts from straw and branches, then it’s time for the bride to start decorating the glasses:
- Degrease the glass surface with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol.
- Using a glue gun, attach turns of thin rope or twine to the stem of the wine glass.
- The upper part of the glass is decorated with a piece of burlap, and a strip of lace is glued on top.
- The lace is tied with a rope and tied with a bow.
- Attach homemade burlap flowers to the base of the leg.
The design of wedding paraphernalia depends only on the imagination of the newlyweds. It is advisable to decorate champagne and wine glasses in the same style.
Rhinestones
The simplest option for decorating wedding attributes is using rhinestones. The sparkling stones shimmering on the glass surface look interesting, creating a festive atmosphere.
Small rhinestones look impressive, refracting rays with a large number of edges.
Rhinestones of the same color and size are chosen for a classic wedding. They are laid out in fancy patterns in the shape of the newlyweds’ initials, rings, doves, and hearts. A themed celebration involves a combination of bright colors and the use of stones of different sizes.
- To work, you should first degrease the surface of the glasses, and then arm yourself with a glue gun and a set of rhinestones.
- For convenience, masking tape is used to cover areas of the surface that, in theory, should not be decorated.
- It is recommended to attach a ready-made stencil inside the wine glass and glue it with shiny rhinestones on the top surface.
The process should start from the upper parts of the glass, moving down. As you work, you can carefully move the elements until the glue dries.
Even a simple star scattering of rhinestones looks festive, and you can make a more complex design after practicing on glasses.
Engraving
Only specialists are trusted to carry out engraving. The newlyweds can participate in drawing up the sketch and suggest text options for the design of the glasses. The engraving method differs depending on the thickness of the glass, and the complexity of the image is chosen based on the chosen ornament.
Thick glass will require a mechanical application method; to work with thin surfaces, laser engraving is chosen.
Mechanical application involves the manual work of a master, but the laser allows you to realize more ornate patterns that require maximum precision in application.
The workshop offers standard inscriptions and drawings, but it is better to think through the details yourself so that the wedding paraphernalia will delight you for many years to come:
- unusual inscriptions;
- placement of patterns on glasses;
- additional decorative elements;
- unique drawings;
- On the leg you can indicate the date of the wedding.
It is recommended to apply figurines of swans or doves, initials of spouses, monograms and floral patterns to the glass. The most famous glass engravings are wishes for happiness, love, a better future, and abundance.
Textile
If you know how to sew, then you can decorate wedding glasses with your own hands for the bride and groom in a very unusual style. Glasses can be worn in costumes!
A small tailcoat is sewn from black fabric, decorated with beads, and for the bride - a strip with which the veil is attached. Then the blanks are put on the glass and fixed with glue. A great solution for a themed wedding or a couple with a sense of humor!
Preparing materials and tools
To decorate wedding glasses you will have to prepare certain tools and materials. Their selection largely depends on the chosen design idea.
Don't be afraid. Decorating wedding glasses is interesting and exciting. There are many ways that are available to people who have nothing to do with creativity.
When choosing a technique, you should not grab the most complex and painstaking one, especially if you have not heard of it before. First you need to watch the master classes and study the necessary information.
It is important to make sure that all accessories are available for the novice craftsman.
It is recommended to ensure that the wine glasses fit into the overall design of the room and suit the style of the newlyweds. Some decorate exclusively the glasses of the bride and groom, while others decorate them for all guests. This is a matter of taste, desire, time and material capabilities.
Standard materials and tools that may be required include:
- acrylic or stained glass paints;
- glitter in jars or any sparkles;
- ribbons;
- lace;
- original ribbons;
- various beads, seed beads, rhinestones;
- dried flowers or artificial flowers;
- glue gun;
- PVA glue.
Ribbons
They are often used for decoration because the process of creating a glass is very simple. You can take white satin ribbons of medium width and wrap them around the glasses. Next, we lay out and glue a small thread on top, on which white beads are strung (the color can be changed).

Beautiful wedding glasses made from satin ribbons are made by taking a narrow strip and gluing it to the glass, laying it out diagonally. In the same way, you can lay a ribbon of a different color (for example, scarlet) nearby.
We attach a flower or any other composition to the leg to hide the ends of the ribbons. It could even be a miniature heart - experiment!
Sequins, rhinestones, beads
Decorating wedding glasses with rhinestones is a very popular solution for a holiday. It will take longer than in the cases described above, but what a beautiful result the result will be! It is better that the top of the glass remains in its original form, but the bottom needs to be decorated.
Using glue, we lay out beads, rhinestones or sparkles, forming a composition. It’s better to print out the options on paper in advance (you can get them on the Internet) and lay them out according to the diagram.
Beads
Beads are a universal means of giving wine glasses a rich look and solemnity. As a rule, they are not the main element of decor, but are attached to petals, flowers, lace to complement the image. Beads split in two and glued to glass, laid out in a specific pattern or arranged in a random order will look good.
Rose petals
How beautiful these glasses turn out! The only negative is the fragility of the composition. Therefore, it must be done right before the celebration. In order not to worry about the result, you can prepare backup glasses with a different design just in case.
You need to take the living roses apart into petals and glue them overlapping from the edge of the glass to the stem. You need to start with small petals and attach larger ones to the bottom.
You need to wait until each row dries. The leg can be wrapped with tape in a spiral or simply secured with a small braid, hiding the traces of the fastening of the petals.

Try to implement one of these ideas so that the glasses become a wedding decoration and delight the newlyweds!
Making wine glasses in the shape of the bride and groom
Perhaps this option is the most interesting not only for the newlyweds themselves, but also for the guests. Especially if the decor of the glass matches the clothes of the newlyweds themselves.
For example, this one in strict classical colors.
In this decor you can use various combinations. This includes fabric, lace, ribbons, and beads.
Here you can also make either simple compositions or complex ones, as in the top picture. It all depends on your imagination. For example, this is a simple composition using ribbons and mesh fabric.
Here, for the groom's glass, a white and black ribbon is taken, which is wrapped around the glass, creating something like a shirt. A butterfly bow is crocheted on top. In the picture, the buttons are made in the form of sparkling stars.
But you can also use natural buttons of a suitable size.
As for the bride's glass, the fabric is attached with ribbon in the form of a veil. Bead decor is added. You can use rhinestones - at your discretion.
Or this option. For the bride, the fabric on the glass is already made from the dress.
In principle, it is not at all necessary to dress the glasses as the bride and groom are dressed. You can simply use different ribbons to highlight which glass is for the bride and which is for the groom. This option is quite easy, but no less beautiful.
In general, there are many options for such decor, the main thing is to use your imagination a little and then the product will turn out to be original. After the banquet you won’t want to take it apart.
